Great results
Application Area:Plasmid extraction
"The plasmid extraction kit from MBI Fermentas is very good and the concentration of plasmid after extraction is high and the result are reproducible."

"It is easy to use and takes about 30 minutes. The columns cannot be bought separately but there is enough volume of solutions. The GX solution isn’t actually needed. I would recommend the kit, works as well as the expensive Qiagen."

"This kit is convenient and user-friendly. Some of the bottles have color-coded labels so that it won’t cause confusion. The one thing I really do not like about it is that sometimes we only run out of one single item and left with an abundant of the others. Then we have to buy a whole package to replace the items which is waste of money. "

"An easy to use plasmid mini-prep kit. Equivalent to higher priced kits on the market. I would recommend anyone to give these a shot."
The kit utilizes an exclusive silica-based membrane technology in the form of a convenient spin column. The kit recovers up to 20 µg of high copy plasmid DNA per isolation procedure. The purified DNA is ready for immediate use in all molecular biology procedures such as fast and conventional digestion with restriction enzymes, PCR, in vitro transcription, transformation and automated sequencing.
Key features include:
• Efficient – high yields of up to 20 µg of high quality plasmid DNA.
• Fast – procedure takes less than 14 min.
• Convenient – no phenol/chloroform extraction or alcohol precipitation required.
• Pure – purified DNA is immediately ready to use.
• Cost effective – lowest price per prep.
Applications include:
• Fast isolation of high purity plasmid DNA suitable for all conventional molecular biology procedures, including:
• FastDigest® or conventional restriction digestion, automated fluorescent and radioactive sequencing,
• PCR,
• In vitro transcription,
• Transformation,
• Transfection of robust cell lines.
